What Causes A Bruised Painful Lump On The Inner Thigh?
My husband had a very bad cramp while we were standing around talking. We assumed he was dehydrated due to not drinking water today while doing labor type work. About an hour later while in the shower, he noticed a very large bruise on his upper inner thigh about 6in down from groin right where the cramp was. It also has a large lump in the middle.

HI,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied your query in all the details put forth by you.
I understood your health concerns and the Cause of bruised painful lump on inner thigh in your case seems to be-
a Days hard labor work, which might have caused un-noticed friction or hit bruises on the inner thigh.
This bruise and lump was incidentally noticed while taking shower.
Hope your husband is not on medicines and does not have any past or current illness.
-Stressful labor has mostly caused the cramps in the leg,which was bruised.
-a large lump on the upper inner thigh,may be due to the Muscle Injury and for which ,I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon/ or ER Sports Doctor or ER Ortho-Surgeon.
As I don't have any fist hand information or the photograph of the lump,its advisable to get checked and treated from your doctor.
Hope this would help you to plan treatment as fast as possible with your doctor.
If you find satisfied with this reply,don't forget to hit thanks and write excellent review comments,which would improve my rating for new needy visitiors to HCM.
Welcome for any further query to Hcm.
Have a good day.
With Regards,
